arrest in the United States on charges related to an alleged racketeering
conspiracy. "The company said that yesterday 'the contract under which David
Carruthers acted as CEO of the company was terminated'. ".BetonSports said:
'Clearly while he remains in the custody of the US Government he is unable
to perform his duties. Further the company has been unable to speak directly
with Mr Carruthers.' "Mr Carruthers, BetonSports founder Gary Kaplan and
nine other former executives of the online betting company have been charged
with racketeering conspiracy, transmission of wagers, mail fraud, tax
evasion and other charges in a 22-count indictment."
